Have you heard this song? Kristin Andreassen - "Crayola Doesn't Make A Color For Your Eyes!"

I went to see the doctor. I'd come down with the blues.She said "No, I can't cure you, but I know something you can do.Take out a piece of paper, and sit down for a while,And draw a pretty picture of something that makes you smile."Well, I know what makes me happy. Didn't have to think for long.But when I tried to draw it, it always came out wrong.I had a box of 12, 48 and 64,But nowhere could I find that one shade I was looking for.I guess I realized shoulda come as no surpriseCrayola doesn't make a color for your eyes.There is no way that I could possibly describe you.Crayola doesn't make a color to draw my love.

At first I thought of Green Blue, but then I saw Blue Green.And then sometimes in bright light, they look Aquamarine.I think at night they're darker. I looked again for you.Saw Grey and Black and went out walkin' after Midnight BlueBut the hues of the deepest skies would be a compromiseCrayola doesn't make a color for your eyes.There is no way that I could possibly describe you.Crayola doesn't make a color to draw my love.

Spring Green is much too yellow, Sea Green is far too pale.Cornflower's way too mellow, so I'll try again and fail.There's no way I can capture the way you make me feel.One look from you is rapture, whether Blue or Green or Teal.No color qualifies. That crayon's telling liesCrayola doesn't make a color for your eyes

Hey look, it's Periwinkle. So sure I got it now.But you wink and there's a twinkle in your eye and still, somehow,I just can't get that sparkle. Those glitter crayons won't.Maybe Glow-In-The-Dark'll get it right. Aw, no they don't.Mr. Crayola tries, but I'm left to fantasizeCrayola doesn't make a color

For your eyes, something darker let's see what I can find.Melted mahogany and got the depth not the shine.Just about gave up and then I peeled the paper off a little end of...Really thought it coulda been... ahh, not even Burnt Sienna!Your passport says they're brown, but I'm gonna keep lookin' round...Crayola doesn't make a color for your eyesThere is no way that I could possibly describe youCrayola doesn't make a color to draw my love

Crayola doesn't make a color for your eyesThere is no way that I could possibly describe youCrayola doesn't make a color to draw my love
